Resurrection!

Thank you Trisled......Thank you GMK Logistics.....

I collected the RV from GMK Logistics & I can't thank them enough!


My first impression is... nice repair job Trisled!!,  it feels and travels like new.

So off I go to see a mate for a bit of "show & tell", we add a few extra psi to the tyres,....
....one coffee later, heading off and....
   


A split in the tube seam at the valve, I'm carrying a spare & it's a quick fix and I'm "rolling".......




of I go.......sort of.......5km up the road & 


same thing, different tyre.....split tube seam near the valve......**sigh**  
hmmm.... no more spare tubes..


Call old mate, who rescues me with another tube.... & off!   for "take 2"...






Only 2km further when the chain jumps off the rear cassette  FFS!!....no pics, this is getting embarrassing & I'm beginning to wonder "why is this so?"

10mins of fiddling and ....."take 3"...... I need a coffee!!


It's at this point I realise I've left Norseman at home....."light bulb moment"    maybe he's sending me "Bad Juju".... we've done 1000's of kms together & today, of all days, I've left him at home.....
serves me right!    LOL

So, coffee time & the RV wants to hide.......



Back out & underway, I manage to arrive home in one piece.... no more tyre dramas, but there is quite a bit of miss gear changing happening with the rear cassette.... gently does it......


Home & hosed!


Now for a bit of tweaking & finer tuning....






and Voila!!!

a new days ride, all be it in the rain......



Norseman looks happy, ,n I reckon I am too.

Good news.....and

.......it's been about a month now and there's finally a bit of good news......(& some not so good news)

Good News...
The Rotovelo has been repaired, and is due for re-delivery to its rightful place in Sydney LOL.....

Thanks again GMK LOGISTICS 8) 

CAN"T WAIT!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: 

(& I hope Trisled won't mind me paying off the repair bill) :oops: 


Not so good news....
..... the saga in Civil Court of trying to claim compensation from the drunk driver is F$%^Kin Pi55ing me OFF!!.... :evil: 

I had the Court registry serve my claim on him, giving him 28 days notice to respond....today is day 28 & yesterday received notice back from the Court that they were unable to Serve my Claim, as there was "no letterbox" at the address I gave them for the driver Say What??.... So now it's going to cost me more $$ to have it Served AGAIN....by a Sherrif's Officer this time.... I thought that is what I paid for but apparently it was just posted by the Court....... I could've done that......& a whole lot cheaper too.... FFS :|

None of this civil court crap would be happening if the Prosecutor had mentioned it to the Magistrate at sentencing!!....he had all the info.
How do I sue the Prosecutor for PROFESSIONAL NEGLIGENCE??
